Chapter 79: The Absurd Prince
Sun Family Tavern in South City, Shenjing.
This place is close to the South City Gate, and there are traffic every day, mostly merchants and craftsmen, and there are mixed together.
There were about a dozen old tables and chairs in the wine shop, filled with all kinds of merchants and people. There was a storyteller in the middle who was hired by the shop owner and was reading today's People's Daily.
"Seven people including Ruan Huawen, Li Zhaoxiang, Abe Kuan, Takeo Miki, Shizuko Yamamoto, Kim Soonko, Park Sung-bin, etc., have been loyal and respectful to the king and father, and have a love for the dynasty, and have shined brightly in their respective fields, making considerable contributions to the prosperity of the Great Yan. Therefore, the seven people and their families are allowed to become citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty! I hope that they can make more..."
Before the newspaper was read, there were already a lot of curses:
"A good football player, the officials of the Household Registration Department have become leeches. They must have accepted bribes from those servants of the vassal!"
"Come on! Otherwise, how could there be a vassal citizen who can become a naturalized person in Dayan every month?"
"Tell me, what is this? Our Han people have suffered for thousands of years and suffered so many hardships? Finally, when the Holy Lord came from heaven, he captured the boundless territory today, Da Yan has truly become a country of the Celestial Kingdom, and all countries come to pay tribute. In the world, the people of Da Yan are the most expensive! What are they? Why can they just come in casually?"
"If you fuck the wild buffalo, you must have treacherous officials from the government office! Those who had the face of begging for the first half of the year were still yelling. Now, look at it, there is no good thing!"
"Isn't it? All the people in the government office are relatives. What's this? Thanks to the Holy Emperor's dynasty, he has the courage to destroy them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, no matter how big the country is, he will not be able to withstand the corruption of those who forget to eat!"
"Grandma! It seems that there are still fish that misses the net now!"
The Storyteller still wants to continue reading. Nian Nian Nian what achievements the seven people who have become naturalized this month have done for Dayan, but the excited people are willing to listen. They just cursed and slapped the table to have wine...
And the four vassals who were slaves in the restaurant also bowed and worked in a humble manner.
I was full of envy for the seven people who were naturalized this month...
"Jingjing, Jingjing, let Wu Tiezui continue to recite!"
"Yes, I remember that in those six last month, the one from Japan who came to Japan took the whole family to manage a large septic tank, fermented and cooked fertilizer, and worked for eight years. The key point is that the whole family jumped in and saved two naughty kids who used firecrackers to blow shit. The family of eight lost three, and they forced the kids to be rescued. If they were all like this, they would admit it..."
"The ball is soaked, what do you think in the restaurant? I want me to say that the family that was naturalized in Silla last month was not bad. The main family left the water, and the whole family and young went to fight to put out the fire. The family of seven also took three of them to put out the fire. It was okay to escape from Zhurong's mouth with the main family on their backs..."
"These are all small families. The eight who were naturalized in July were great. Half of Japanese slaves and half of them were raised by Silla maids. The people from these two small places were really interesting. They each led a group of people to compete for the fastest and best tracks. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Later, this incident alarmed His Highness the Crown Prince, sent someone to check that they did well, so he rewarded the grace and gave eight places at a time. It is said that this incident has spread throughout the Japanese province and Silla province. Now the Japanese short mules and Silla maids are all worshipping the crown prince of our Dayan as gods, praising him for his kindness and charity, and swearing to be loyal to him to death!"
"Hey, why do you rebels still speak to those Wangba?"
"Oh, the lives of the vassal people are also life..."
"Go to your grandma's legs!"
...
"Every month, the details of the naturalized vassals are recorded in the newspaper, and they are widely publicized in the vassal territory and other provinces. In the first place, the vassals and the people of other provinces can see hope and let them see with their own eyes that as long as they work hard for the Great Yan, one day they will become the Han people of the Great Yan!
This policy has been implemented for nine years so far and has excellent results, especially in the Japanese province, Silla province and Tang Fan.
If you become a Han citizen, you can get your own land, even houses and cattle and sheep. In addition, the local people are far lower than the taxes of the vassal states and other provinces, as well as the clean, honest and fair governments, and the people live a backbone and dignity, which is fatal to them.
In their places, the people at the bottom were not even considered to be people. At least they could receive a reward for working for Dayan...
Therefore, these vassals and other provinces have burst out with crazy enthusiasm for working.
After all, once you become a Han citizen, it is like a carp leaping over a dragon gate, which not only changes one's own destiny, but also changes the fate of the whole family and descendants.
From this point of view, it is extremely beneficial to the naturalization of the vassal states and other provinces!”
In the 19th year of Yuanwu, at the dynasty meeting on March 1st, facing the censor's inquiry based on the rising trend of the people, a doctor from the Household Registration Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs replied, and finally said with a smile: "In fact, it is also beneficial to the local people. In the past thousands of years, the Han Dynasty has often compared itself to the upper state of the Celestial Empire and the central country. But the people rarely have this feeling, only knowing that prosperity, suffering, destruction, and suffering. Let's look at what people are not glorious now because of being the descendants of Yan and Huang? In the long run, the people's hearts are gathered and prosperous times are expected!"
The words of the doctor in the household registration department caused a burst of laughter in the court.
The prosperous era is expected...
This sentence almost became a joke during banquets inside and outside the court and the country.
Because I looked through history, it was difficult to find a dynasty where no one could afford to eat or wear clothes...
Twenty years ago, anyone who dared to say this is afraid that people would be regarded as crazy.
Even during the reign of Wen and Jing, no one dared to say that no one could afford to eat during the prosperous Zhenguan period.
There may be a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, but what about the land where the water source is insufficient and the land is not fat? There are really not many rich places in the Hexi Corridor area.
But now, almost all the people in the barren land and hilly areas of Dayan have been moved to the sea, and only a small part of them stay in a fertile soil that covers very little land, and grows food for the military region guarding the border.
Although I dare not say that the whole people of Dayan are rich, at least, as long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely have food to eat and can still eat enough!
This is not a prosperous era, what is a prosperous era?
The emperor is very talented and stubborn, and it is difficult to achieve in the ages. I resolutely stop the officials from the court from mentioning the prosperous era of Yuanwu. I only said that the current is just the beginning and the first step of the journey of thousands of miles. Because most of the territory of Dayan has not yet been developed and is in a deserted state, how can there be such a prosperous era in the world?
Therefore, the imperial officials can only say one thing: the prosperous times are expected, but they also make people full of joy.
And, endless glory!
...
"According to statistics, in the 18th year of Yuanwu, due to a series of heavy errands such as mining, building new cities, paving railways, building roads, and reclaiming land, the imperial court mobilized the vassals and the people of other provinces, with more than 30 million people! This is not counting the vassal land, and other provinces became tenants of the imperial court and the farmers who rented public fields, all of which were more than 12,000. The number of deaths was around 5 million! Among them, the mining industry was the most, followed by suicides, nearly 600,000 people..."
In the Military Affairs Office, Zhao Ji, a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, smiled bitterly and said, "In history, I don't know what we will be like. I think it is a demon with green face, fangs, and bloody mouth."
These shocking data were listed as special secrets of the state and dynasty many years ago and are among the never-decrypted ones. Only a few people in the world can know it.
But the more this happens, the more the Confucian officials who still have some conscience in their hearts will feel worse.
After a moment of silence, Han Cong said slowly: "At least, Da Yan has not performed the slaughter. Compared with the things done by the Western barbarians, Da Yan is thousands of times more kind. Furthermore, those responsibilities must be done by someone and given corresponding rewards. If the vassal people do it, they must do it by the Han people."
Zhang Chao looked at Zhao Ji and smiled and said, "So too. Every year, these statistics are in line with each other, so you must always say some compassionate words."
Wan Liang smiled and laughed and said, "As long as people cannot eat too much, otherwise they will become Buddhas and saints." After that, he asked Han Cong, "Mr. Sui'an, the prince has been out of Beijing for more than half a year. He has not even returned to Beijing for the New Year. I heard that the prince personally carried the surveying and mapping equipment and ran back and forth between the mountains and fields... Although the crown prince should be trained and had to endure some hardship, isn't it a bit over the work of such a hard work?"
This is actually mixed with some jokes and jokes, because the rumors that the Han family’s daughter often entered the East Palace were rumored to be very popular at the end of last year.
It is said that the Han family wants to be the second Jia family in Dayan, and send all the women in the family into the palace...
Anyway, reputation is very unpleasant.
There was no news from the Tian family, and it seemed that they were completely unaware of this.
However, when Han Cong heard this rumor, he was furious, and since then the Han family’s daughters have basically stopped entering the East Palace.
Afterwards, after the prince completed the surveying and mapping near the capital, he left Beijing and rarely returned to Beijing...
Of course, Wan Liang did not dare to speak out about this matter, and he was also kind-hearted in joking. He did not want to provoke this veteran of the four dynasties. However, his life has been very smooth recently, so he was mixed with some private goods.
Han Cong said lightly: "The princes have made great achievements overseas and expanded their land thousands of miles. I heard that the soil in that place is fertile and boundless, but the climate is gentler and more suitable than that of the Great Yan. Naturally, the prince must also do things more attentively."
After hearing what Han Cong said, Wan Liang's mind was indeed no longer on this, and he said enthusiastically in his eyes: "I heard that after the Eighteenth Prince asked the Emperor for instructions, he named the Great Qin, which was the basis for the princes to sweep thousands of miles. The Great Qin was closer to the Great Yan than the Song vassals. It is logical that it should be included in the Great Yan..."
Yu Wanzhou, who had not spoken, whispered: "Mr. Wan, even if the territory of Da Yan is now difficult to develop within a hundred years, why bother to think about it? Besides, if the prince is enthroned in China, more than 70% of them must be Han people, so what is different from Han territory? The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, so it is better not to anger him."
Wan Liang's expression was stunned when he heard this, and then he woke up. After looking at Han Cong with some fear, he did not dare to Meng Lang anymore. He bowed to Yu Wanzhou with gratitude: "What Bo'an said is very much. Recently, the emperor was furious about the twenty-fourth prince. It is better not to cause trouble. The matters of the Qin Dynasty should be discussed again, and then..."
Yu Wanzhou smiled and nodded, and the so-called discussion was naturally put on hold...
But he thought secretly how the emperor would suffer from the rebellious son of the Tian family...
I think it's helpless. Although the nine sons of Longsheng each have their own preferences, the ones that Longsheng likes is too ridiculous...
What did this twenty-fourth prince do?
With just sixteen years of being killed, within two months, a hundred people were killed in the seventy-two brothels of Pingkangfang!
He also said in a suffocational manner: His reputation is far superior to that of the Holy Father!
Because Jia Qiang has never become famous in brothels.
Oh, who has no bastard son yet...
But I originally thought that the children of the Tian family were all talented, but I didn’t expect that there would be unbearable people...
Yu Wanzhou suddenly became alert. It doesn’t matter if only a prince is like this. What would the court do if the prince in later generations do?
Chapter completed!
